      Haha! Thankfully they didn't turn him green! It's more the over-sized ears that gave him the Yoda look! I will try to get a picture up later, do we already have a pet thread?

      We have our tree and decorations up . Some years we dont put them up this soon,but this year I decided to do it early.

      I will also mail my Christmas cards this week .

      Everyone thinks it's funny,but I take my tree down on Christmas day .I am the opposite of a procrastinator ,whatever that is called .

    3. Hayley

    4. Signor Finzione

      Signor Finzione

      I cried when I heard. Such an awesome guy. :(

  12. Yay Easter holiday!

    3. Ben

      Ben

      I didn't get a reading week either lol.

      Chrissy

    3. Hayley

      Hayley

      thanks :) would help if soothers actually made your throat numb instead of just your tongue though :/

  14. Apparantly today is Roald Dahl day, so happy Roald Dahl day! I think somebody should make a chocolate river to celebrate... :)

    1. Eleonora

      Eleonora

      My chocolate waterfal is almost done :)

      aww I missed this :(

  15. Feeling a little overwhelmed by the amount of books I need to have read in two months! :/

    1. busy91

      busy91

      you could use the formula I use. I give my self no more than 5 days to finish a book. I divide the total number of pages by 5 and whatever it gives me is the number of pages I must read per day.

       

      OK, I'm anal!

    2. Hayley

      Hayley

      Haha, no that sounds like quite a good idea! I'm not completely confident I can make myself stick to it but I'll definitely give it a try! Thanks :)

    3. Easy Reader

      Easy Reader

      I do that too but I give myself 7 days but can read more than the quota if I am enjoying it.

  16. Won a book for writing the best essay in my class but have no time to read it because I have to finish the exam texts... ironic

    1. Ben

      Ben

      Lol, typical! Congrats though, wish we had the chance of winning a book for the best essay. :o

    2. Kidsmum

      Kidsmum

      Well done! What book did you win.

    3. Hayley

      Hayley

      thanks :). I got a choice of three and chose 'JEM - The Making of a Utopia' by Frederik Pohl. Never heard of it before but the blurb sounded interesting so I'm hoping it will be good

  17. Trying to read 3 books at the same time. need to learn to read faster :(

    1. Ben

      Ben

      So many books.. so little time!

    2. Hayley

      Hayley

      Exactly! One down now, 2 more to go!

  18. Soft toys are hard to wrap... why can't everybody want books?? :D

    1. Devi

      Devi

      That's where you trick them! Grab any old box and stuff it with filling and hide the soft toy inside! :)

    2. Signor Finzione

      Signor Finzione

      Great tip! I spent about twenty minutes trying to wrap a dressing gown before getting fed up and just tying a ribbon round it. :D

  19. Why is it that when you have to read a book in a certain amount of time, it seems to take so much longer than usual? :/

    1. Inver

      Inver

      Yes I have noticed that too.

    2. Hayley

      Hayley

      might be partly because I keep procrastinating by coming on here lol

  20. Back from Spain to find the keys for my new flat have arrived and it's Chinese food for tea, yum! :)

    1. frankie

      frankie

      I envy your life :D A nice holiday in Spain, new flat, and Chinese, how can one top that?!

    2. Hayley

      Hayley

    1. poppyshake

      poppyshake

      Are you ok Hayley .. hope the drive to uni wasn't too bad. It's thawed now .. hooray :)

    2. Hayley

      Hayley

      Yeah thanks, I made it there and back in one piece in the end! :D I love the snow when I get to stay inside and it's all pretty, I just don't like driving in it!

  23. It's snowing!? pretty sure last week the papers said we were having a heatwave? that was a quick heatwave!

    1. poppyshake

      poppyshake

      It's great isn't it? .. sunburn last week .. frostbite this week .. bloomin weather!

    1. Inver

      Inver

  25. Saw the sequel to 'The Shadow of the Wind' in waterstones earlier, how did I not know this was coming out!? Definitely going on the holiday book list!
